Aberrant ALOX5 Activation Correlates with HER2 Status and Mediates Breast Cancer Biological Activities through Multiple Mechanisms

Figure 3

ALOX5 inhibition is active against breast cancer cells. ALOX5 inhibition via siRNA or zileuton significantly inhibits proliferation (a and d), induces apoptosis (b and e), and suppresses migration (c and f) in MCF-7 and SKBR3 cells. Proliferation and apoptosis were determined after 3 days drug treatment. Migration was determined after 8 hours of drug treatment. Transfected cells were harvested at 48 h posttransfection for proliferation, apoptosis, and migration assays. , compared to siControl or control.
